Hydrangea Poem by Ima Ryma

Hydrangea flowering plants,
Meaning water vessel in Greek
For such capsule shape circumstance
To hold the water which they seek.
When the soil is alkaline, hue
Of the flowers is pink a lot.
When the soil is acidic, blue
Is color most flowers have got.
The flowers bloom from early spring
To late fall in large flower heads.
Some look like pompoms and do bring
A showy pep to flower beds.

In Asia and Americas be,
Growing as vine or shrub or tree.
